Days Ten and Eleven - Missoula, MT


We made it to Missoula about dinnertime on Thursday night. It's great to be back here after a two-year absence. In this picture, you'll see the damage we did to the nice clean bedroom my parents had waiting for us. Here's what'll happen to your house if the Johnsons come visiting!

The highlight of the day was the hotel we found in Billings. After hearing the cost of a room at the La Quinta (Spanish for, "overpriced"), we checked out a local place across the street. What a bargain! Not only was it almost half the price, but it was clean, roomy, and dog-friendly. On top of that, a hot breakfast from a restaurant next door was included. Since it was a bar/casino and minors were not allowed inside of it, I had to pick up the breakfast and bring it back to the room. It took a medium-sized box to fit it all (I found myself thinking, "hmm...we should save this box for packing...wait a minute, we don't need boxes anymore!). Anyway, nothing like a good bargain to warm the hearts of these penny-pinchers.

Today was spent in Missoula. Robyn and I are sitting right now in a coffee shop writing out this blog. They are about to close in five minutes, so I'll make this to the point: Scott - golf with Dad, Robyn - watching kids, Kids - finding worms and meeting next door neighbor's rabbit. There is more but I better wrap this up!

Here is a picture of one of the hummingbird feeders my parents have behind their house. One of the little birds even landed on my finger for a second!
